Pastscape says - "Early Christian memorial stone in St Francis churchyard, Indian Queens. The memorial stone survives as an upright granite shaft measuring 1.65 metres in overall height. It is rectangular in section with the broader faces oriented north-south. This stone bears an incised inscription in one line running down its north face. The inscription is in Latin, and has been read as `RVANI HIC IACIT', or `MAGLI HIC'. The inscription is very worn and virtually indecipherable. The use of an upright shaft or stone with a simple Latin inscription suggests a fifth/sixth century to eleventh century date for this memorial stone. Also on the north face are two holes, the lower is filled with lead with the remains of an iron gate fitting in it. Both these holes indicate that the stone was used as a gatepost sometime in the past. It was first recorded by the antiquarian, Borlase in 1754 as "about four miles east of Michel". By 1872 the stone had been moved to the Indian Queens Inn, where the historian, Henderson stated it had marked the parish boundary between St Enoder and St Columb. A road widening scheme caused it to be moved to its present location in 1939. Scheduled".
